Chapter 416 Xiao Yan's Fear, Gu Yuan's Invitation.
This has nothing to do with you." Xiao Yan would naturally not tell Soul Palace the secret of how the Burning Technique could evolve, he said indifferently.
"Boy, watch your attitude. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because the Palace Master is backing you up." The Soul Palace guardian gritted his teeth.
The Soul Palace had a strict hierarchy. It was simply outrageous that a mere Dou Ling dared to speak coldly to him, a Soul Palace Heavenly Grade Protector who possessed high-level Dou Zong cultivation.
Xiao Yan maintained his attitude. He took out a token with the word "Soul" from his ring and said indifferently, "What attitude? This is my attitude. Where is the beast fire I want?"
"Boy. You..." The Soul Palace guardian wanted to say something but was stopped by a token that Xiao Yan took out. This was a token given to him by the Soul Palace master. It was valid until he was promoted to Dou Zong. It could command a Soul Palace Heaven-level guardian to do anything for him that would not harm the Soul Palace.
"Okay, I'll give it to you." The Soul Palace guardian took out five medicine bottles from his storage ring with a frustrated look. Each of them contained three fifth-level beast fires and two sixth-level beast fires.
"Why is there no seventh-level beast fire?" Xiao Yan took it and looked at it. He immediately felt dissatisfied and asked with a frown.
"Boy, don't be so picky. The seventh-level monsters are not as easy to deal with as you think. Now someone leaked the news that several seventh-level monsters in the entire Ghost Mountain Range have united. I can't deal with so many. It's already very good that I can get these few." The Soul Palace guardian said coldly.
"Then you are a waste. You are a high-level Dou Zong, but now you can't even get a seventh-level beast fire. The Soul Palace has kept you in vain." Xiao Yan mocked him without any hesitation.
"you"
"Hmm?" Xiao Yan glared at the Soul Palace guardian and raised the Soul Palace token in his hand.
Seeing Xiao Yan's smug look, the Soul Palace guardian was so angry that he was fuming, but he was helpless and could not resist. He could only wait for him to be promoted to Dou Zong before dealing with him.
But since you are not having an easy life, I will not let you have an easy life either.
Having made up his mind, the Soul Palace Guardian suddenly revealed a playful smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"I don't know. Do you know Xiao Se?" The Soul Palace Guardian grinned.
"So what if I know him? So what if I don't know him?" Xiao Yan was a little annoyed. Why did he mention that guy for no reason?
"I remember that you and he are from the same clan, right? I just received news that some time ago, he refined an eighth-grade pill with nine-colored pill thunder in Dan Tower, becoming the youngest eighth-grade peak alchemist in Douqi Continent." The Soul Palace Guardian said.
"Impossible, this is impossible." Xiao Yan's face showed fear and disbelief.
Didn't old man Mu Gu go to grab the ancient jade? With his cruelty, how could Xiao Se still be alive?
"Hehe, now the news has spread throughout the vast Zhongzhou. Dan Tower has directly invited him to be an elder, and his status is equal to that of the three giants of Dan Tower. Tsk tsk. When Protector Wu was still alive, I seemed to have heard that you were the number one genius of the Xiao family. How come in the blink of an eye, he has become a famous eighth-grade top alchemist and a Dou Zun-level existence, while you are still a small Dou Ling? It seems that you don't live up to the reputation." The Soul Palace Protector chuckled and continued to gloat.
"Damn it, I can't stay here anymore," Xiao Yan cursed in his heart.
Xiao Se was able to refine the legendary eighth-grade peak elixir, and there is an 80% chance that he has become a Dou Zun. Old Man Mu Gu has been gone for so long and has not come back, so he must have failed.
He hated Xiao Se, and he also knew that Xiao Se hated him. He knew that Xiao Se wanted to kill him as soon as possible. If it weren't for Yao Lao, he would have died countless times.
Now he has betrayed Yao Lao and joined the Soul Palace which is trying to destroy the Xiao family. He also revealed Xiao Se's situation to the Soul Palace and led Old Man Mu Gu to kill him.
If he knew about it, he was afraid that the other party would chop him to pieces immediately. He couldn't die. He didn't want to die.
"Hurry up, take me away from this place." Xiao Yan stood up, tightly grasping the hand of the Soul Palace guardian, sweating profusely.
"Go? Where to? Boy, you may not forget that I am only responsible for providing you with cultivation resources and protecting your safety. I also have a usual duty, which is to monitor you." The Soul Palace guardian sneered.
"Damn bastard, you just got transferred here and you don't know that old man Mu Gu, your respected elder, set out to capture Xiao Se several months ago, and he hasn't come back yet. Instead, there's news that Xiao Se has become an eighth-grade peak alchemist. Mu Gu has likely been killed or captured by Xiao Se. If he finds out that Yao Chen is imprisoned in the Ghost Mountains, those respected elders with high cultivation levels will be fine, but we will all be doomed." Xiao Yan cursed.
"Should I go and tell those elders?" The Soul Palace guardian was a little hesitant.
"If we go back now, we might just fall into the tiger's mouth. What if we happen to run into Xiao Se's gun?" Xiao Yan said angrily.
"No, that won't work. If I leave right away, it would be equivalent to betraying Soul Palace. The consequences would be more terrible than facing a Dou Zun." The Soul Palace guardian was still in shock.
"Idiot, didn't the Palace Master give me a token? He asked you to protect my safety and provide me with training resources. If your boss asks about it next time, just say that I asked you to go." Xiao Yan said solemnly.
"Then where do you say we should go?" The Soul Palace guardian nodded as if that made sense. Xiao Se was a Dou Zun, and if he got into a battle with those elders, the ones who would die the fastest would be the guardians themselves, so it would be better to avoid them if possible.
"Let's go to the Beast Territory, which is far away from Zhongzhou, so there's no need to worry about Xiao Se running into it." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said seriously, the Beast Territory is the paradise of magical beasts, and it's perfect to go there to collect beast fire to devour.
Ancient Tribe and Ancient World.
On top of the misty cliffs.
There stands a courtyard.
A gentle-looking middle-aged man sat in the courtyard, sipping tea quietly.
At this moment, a dark shadow rose from outside the courtyard, turned into a human form, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Master Patriarch."
"What's the matter?" the gentle middle-aged man asked calmly.
"The man that the lady has been paying attention to has come to Zhongzhou and has been promoted to Dou Zun. He has refined an eighth-grade elixir with nine-colored elixir thunder in the Dan Tower and has become an eighth-grade top alchemist in one fell swoop." The black shadow replied respectfully.
"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed across the eyes of the elegant middle-aged man: "If I remember correctly, this little guy is less than 19 years old, only less than a year older than Xun'er."
"Yes, Patriarch."
"Nineteen years old, Dou Zun, an eighth-grade peak alchemist. Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan, your descendant is even more talented than you. He is worthy of Xun'er." The elegant middle-aged man murmured, and then said to the black shadow: "Go, send an invitation letter to that little guy, saying that I, Gu Yuan, invite him to attend the Gu Clan's coming-of-age ceremony in three months."
"Yes." The black shadow responded respectfully and disappeared into the void.
